Highly Scalable Bayesian Geostatistical Modeling via Meshed Gaussian Processes on Partitioned Domains
基于分区域网格化高斯过程的高可扩展贝叶斯地统计建模
We introduce a class of scalable Bayesian hierarchical models for the analysis of massive geostatistical datasets. The underlying idea combines ideas on high-dimensional geostatistics by partitioning the spatial domain and modeling the regions in the partition using a sparsity-inducing directed acyclic graph (DAG). We extend the model over the DAG to a well-defined spatial process, which we call the Meshed Gaussian Process (MGP). A major contribution is the development of a…
